I had differences of opinion with President Obama and most well-known, of course, is Iran.

Israel has to accommodate the Palestinian demands and aspirations for ending occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That is the only answer. The Israeli aggression on Gaza does not bring peace to Israel. We know that. We want end of occupation.

I don't think that anyone should doubt Israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.

But ... the days that the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over.

The real reason we haven't had peace is because of a persistent refusal of the Palestinians to recognize a Jewish state in any border.

Anyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state, anyone who is going to evacuate territories today, is simply giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel.

History has shown us time and again that what is right is not what is popular.
